‘Mission: Impossible - The Final Reckoning’ Review: Live and Let Cruise

1 day ago | weliveentertainment.com | Zachary Marsh |Aaron Neuwirth

One of my favorite line readings in the entire Mission: Impossible film series comes from one of its more derided entries, 2000’s Mission: Impossible 2. When Tom Cruise’s Ethan Hunt dares to question the challenge of his upcoming task, Anthony Hopkins’ Mission Commander Swanbeck replies, “Well, this is not mission difficult, Mr. Hunt, it’s mission impossible.” It would be a silly line were it not delivered with such skill, but it was also spoken about something relatively straightforward.
‘Friendship’ Review: Bad Bonds, Hilarious Results

2 days ago | weliveentertainment.com | Aaron Neuwirth

It’s hard enough for adults to make new friends, but what about being an adult who wants to back out of a perceived friendship? That is the tricky line being walked by the film Friendship, from writer/director Andrew DeYoung. Working with a cast of great comedic talent and enriched by a tone only a few degrees away from becoming a full-on psychological thriller, Friendship is the funniest film I’ve seen so far this year.
'Juliet & Romeo' Review: Despite Catchy Songs, There Never Was a Story of More Woe

1 week ago | weliveentertainment.com | Kevin Taft

The houses of Musical and Serious Drama are at battle in the latest (and unnecessary) retelling of Shakespeare’s “Romeo & Juliet,” now with the uninspired title of Juliet & Romeo. While the film notes state it’s based on the “real story” that inspired Shakespeare’s play, something seems rotten in the declaration.

The following features reviews for The Surfer, Another Simple Favor, The Accountant 2, Havoc, Dogma, and Star Wars: Episode III – Revenge of the Sith.
‘Thunderbolts*’ Review: Outcasts Outlast Self-Doubt

2 weeks ago | weliveentertainment.com | Aaron Neuwirth

Putting a band of misfits together to save the world…or something along those lines is far from a new line of thinking for action-adventure films, let alone superhero movies. Even The Avengers essentially functions as this, given the time spent having the group figure out their dynamic before teaming up to take on alien invaders.
‘Until Dawn’ Review: Blade Edge of Tomorrow

3 weeks ago | weliveentertainment.com | Aaron Neuwirth

Not that it makes much of a difference, but I now find myself having seen two cinematic adaptations of video games I have not played before within the same month. Fortunately, while A Minecraft Movie has made huge profits by drafting off Jack Black’s energy and enough moments for fans to point to in recognition (and little else), Until Dawn takes what seems like an interesting enough game and applies some clever means to make it function as an effective feature film.

Concert Review: Cheyenne Jackson Showed Signs of Spectacular Life During his One-Man Show

1 month ago | weliveentertainment.com | Kevin Taft

From the back of the darkened theater, a man begins to sing. Just his voice. No accompanying piano. Just him and his instrument. “Birds flying high, You know how I feel…” he crooned. The Samueli Theater crowd immediately turned from their tables and craned their necks to spot the man inhabiting this haunting, crystalline, clear voice singing one of the most beloved songs of all time. And there he was. Cheyenne Jackson.
‘Sinners’ Review: Coogler's Dance of the Damned

1 month ago | weliveentertainment.com | Zachary Marsh |Aaron Neuwirth

When asked to name the directors whose latest films I want to see instantly, it’s a prompt that doesn’t elicit much reaction from me, as I am happy to see so many different filmmakers’ work. Now, when considering true event filmmakers, the directors who are just as likely as the stars to bring in the audiences, there really only are a handful. Right now, coming alongside the Nolans and Tarantinos, I think there’s a good argument to make for Ryan Coogler.
'Drop' Review: One Deadly Date Night

1 month ago | weliveentertainment.com | Michael Lee

Christopher Landon‘s Drop is one of those films that knows what it is and wants the audience to have fun. While the modern-day technological thriller uses Hitchockian style to deliver twists and turns, it’s a surprisingly sharp tale about survivors of domestic abuse trying to find a sense of normalcy after dealing with traumatizing events. Drop centers on Violet (Meghann Fahy), a widowed mother of one, who helps victims of abuse regain control of their lives.
